No good deed goes unpunished.

If nothing can save us from death,

then love, at least, should save us from life

Maturity is

learning to walk away 

from people and situations 

that threaten your peace of mind, 

self-respect, 

values, morals and self worth.

 

 

“Is there really anything behind our smiles and tears

but an evolutionary slip-up?”

― Thomas Ligotti

Each day is a little life

every waking and rising a little birth, 

every fresh morning a little youth, 

every going to rest and sleep a little death."
 

~ Arthur Schopenhauer

 

 

Life’s biggest tragedy

 is that
we get old too soon 

and wise too late.

'How could you rise anew

if you have not first become ashes?'
 
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
